Two perspectives on health of body/mind

Posted by ICS respondent on October 17, 2007

Perspectives are valuable for us to bring higher levels of awareness:

  • Physical health and well being will bring higher levels of energy to the community. The effect of this will be immediately felt in the community and will be observed in an increase of skills and abilities of its members, participation in programs and more creativity and will to cooperate. Obviously this is the result of all the inner work being taken place in the community. This will create an special aura for the community that will be felt by visitors and people will be called to join the new way of relating and being. People that is foreign to this practices, will understand by seeing it how it happens. This will be more effective than reading thousands of books. The community should have a set of activities and programs that preserve and enhance its culture, the achievement of its mission and the building of a bridge between paradigms and colours of the spiral.
  • Health of mind and body is important, although not crucial. It seems to be the case that we tend to overestimate the misery caused by illness, quite often. Health is therefore important, of course, but not crucial. In any case, it is difficult to try to promote this balance among quadrants and at the same time respect freedom. Definitely health and promotion of health is important, and the environment, the social connections, the contents of our food, matter probably more than it is reckoned at the moment.
